Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DO WE PLAN TO ACHIEVE OUR MISSION?
By implementing a new form of government through a constitutional convention.
WHAT IS A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION?
A constitutional convention, also known as a constitutional revolution, is a formal meeting for the purpose of introducing a new constitution/form of government and discussing political concerns.
How do we plan to get a constitutional convention?
By boycotting perishables including, dairy, meat, seafood, poultry, alcohol, and, soft drinks. The Pillars of Power in the United States are Military, Money and People, because people have the power to harness control with large numbers.
WHY BOYCOTT PERISHABLES?
The government is already 26 trillion dollars in debt and cannot make money without consumers. Perishables have a 30-day shelf life. Without a demand companies will be forced to shut down, otherwise they will lose money.
About 50 percent of federal revenue comes from individual income taxes, 7 percent from corporate income taxes, and another 36 percent from payroll taxes that fund social insurance programs. The rest comes from a mix of sources.
The federal government collected $3.5 trillion in revenue in fiscal year 2020 or $10,457 per person.
91% came from individual income, payroll, and corporate income taxes.
The individual income tax has been the largest single source of federal revenue since 1950, amounting to about 50 percent of the total and 8.1 percent of GDP in 2019. In recent years, individual income tax revenue has climbed as high as 9.9 percent of GDP (in 2000) at the peak of the 1990’s economic boom and dropped as low as 6.1 percent (in 2010) following the 2007–2009 Great Recession.
The recession put the economy in a deep hole and created an unusually large and long-lasting gap between actual and potential GPD. The working definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth.
Income tax is 8% of the GPD and the majority of the government’s income. Every year averages to 8%. If the GPD drops to 5% or lower they are in a recession. A recession means more debt, vulnerability, and dependence on foreign countries.
Boycotting perishables leaves the government defenseless forcing them to comply with our demands. They cannot use the military or weapons to force us to buy perishable foods to make them money. This is how they lose at their own game.
Right now, U.S. GPD is 19 trillion a month. We need to drop that by 3% to put them in a recession. 3% would be $570,000,000,000.
Dairy accounts for 3.5% of GPD and provides 3 million jobs. If we shut down dairy production, it would cost the government an additional $4,194,000,000 a month in unemployment claims.
Meat accounts for 6% of GPD provides 5 million jobs. Putting meat production out would take $6,990,000,000 a month in unemployment claims.
Seafood 1% GPD, 1,246,366 jobs, $1,682,594,100 in unemployment claims a month.
Poultry, 1,613,881 jobs, cost the government $2,178,738,000 a month in unemployment.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Because, all those industries combined have a monthly GPD of $175,275,912,166.65 and provide over 5 million jobs. Each unemployment claim costs the government $4200 - $12,000 per person. Without those people employed they are not paying taxes to the government or into the unemployment fund which puts the US further in debt. Boycotting perishables means they would lose $360 a day in fuel per truck. It costs $1080 to fill a semi-truck, an average dairy truck driver drives 650 miles a day, a semi-truck tank is 300 gallons and gets 6.5 miles to the gallon and 2100 miles to the tank on diesel. That means they would have to refuel about every three days which would be a loss of $360 a day per truck.
How will this ensure we achieve our goal?
It will force the government to comply with our demands, because if we do not start consuming again, they cannot make money and will just fall further in debt. More debt means vulnerability to foreign countries.
